Realme launched its new Realme GT Neo 5 SE smartphone – after dozens of leaks and rumors; they finally did it. This phone is a feature-trimmed version of the Realme GT Neo 5, launched in February as the world’s first phone with 240W charging. Realme Launches GT Neo 5 SE with impressive features and specifications at an affordable price point.
Specifications and Features
The Realme GT Neo 5 SE features a 6.74-inch flat OLED panel with a centrally aligned punch-hole. The screen has a 1.5K resolution of 1240 x 2772 pixels, a refresh rate of 144Hz, a 2160Hz high-frequency dimming, and a peak brightness of 1,400 nits. It’s worth noting that this is the same display available on the Realme GT Neo 5.
Powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2, the Realme GT Neo 5 SE offers flagship-level performance. The device comes with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, with the topmost model offering 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Unfortunately, there is no microSD card slot on the device. It comes with the Realme UI 4.0-based Android 13 OS.
Gizchina News of the week
The Realme GT Neo 5 SE’s camera setup includes a 16-megapixel front camera and a 64-megapixel primary camera on the back. An 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 2-megapixel macro camera also accompany this camera setup.
The device also have a 5,500mAh battery that supports 100W charging, a first on a mid-range phone. Realme claims the device can easily last up to two days on a single charge. Their claim seems reasonable – after reviewing hundreds of phones, it is easier to say a phone with more than 5000mAh battery can last two days. Other features include dual SIM, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, NFC, an IR blaster, a USB-C port, dual stereo speakers, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

All variants will be available with a 100 Yuan discount during the pre-sale period. It’s unclear whether the device will be released in other markets and whether it will carry the same name.
